First, the internal carotid artery system and the other is the vertebro - basilar artery system. Cervical disease, cervical disc thinner, shortening the long axis cause cervical, vertebral artery has become relatively long and have a bending; Cervical cervical disease at the joint instability, the vertebral joints loose Luschka and dislocation, next to transverse Kong is not on a vertical line, but also enable the vertebral artery compression, distortion, distortion; Cervical the disease, were commonly very hyperostosis, the proliferation of oppression osteophyte can transverse hole of the vertebral artery, particularly 5-6 neck and neck 6-7, 4-5 cervical vertebrae were commonly proliferation, proliferative bone puncture the vertebral artery can also stimulate the sympathetic nerve plexus wall caused vertebral artery spasm, and other Sympathetic dysfunction, such as palpitation, sweating, red, insomnia, blood pressure fluctuations; As the intervertebral joint stability worse, neck joint activities to cause excessive activities, traction vertebral artery caused insufficiency. Vertebral - basilar artery insufficiency, and more performance for dizziness, nausea, a sexually other 13, tinnitus, limb numbness, as a fall attack. Older people suffering from cervical spondylosis, on the basis of a combination of cerebral arteriosclerosis, cerebral insufficiency increased cerebral blood flow velocity significantly slower thrombosis more opportunities likely to cause the occurrence of stroke. Therefore suffering from cervical disease in the elderly through acupuncture, massage, cervical traction treatment, the improvement in the symptoms of cervical disease on the basis of the vertebral artery leading to improvement in the blood supply, but also the application under the guidance of doctors cerebral vasodilator, anti-platelet aggregation and medicines.
